Has anyone else noticed that there is no kicker element after the lift hill in the model of Led Zeppelin? I thought that B&M used this element universally throughout their coaster product line. Maybe the guy that made the model didnt get the memo...who knows...maybe it just simply doesnt have one. :ph34r:

Starting to take shape a bit. Below are two links that compare the model view against an actual view of the area in front of Zepplin.

Although it is hard to see in this picture (Actual view of area in front of Zeppelin) they have already begun putting in the supports for Zeppelin.

Rep. from HRP said this week that each car on Zepplin will be equipped with mid range speakers as well as a subwoofer that riders sit on. They have been saying this sound system is supposed to be so ultra-modern yet that doesn’t sound so dissimilar from RocknRC at MGM (or Pixar whichever they decide to call it).

Also this week, the park was granted permits to stay open until 2am. I would imagine such a late closing time is required for next day prep. work rather than actually closing the park to the public at 2am. I dunno though?

Usually parks close earlier for the next days prep. I think it's great they might be open that late but I would guess the late openings will be on a limited schedule. I don't see them, or any park, staying open untill 2am on a 365 basis. Maybe the weekend and holidays and special events, or maybe it is just for the concert nights. Who knows but at least there will be a park with plenty of night time atmosphere.

Also the steel supports for the concert venue in “Born in the USA” have been raised. Here is a pic of that:

They are the same photos from <a href='http://www.discovermyrtlebeach.com/news/hardrockcoasterconstruction.cfm' target='_blank'>this</a> link.

Guess he didn't see the disclaimer about altering the photos:

Yes, you are quite the criminal. And a smart *** one at that. Do you really think it's OK to steal photos, crop them, and upload them to your ftp, and post them as if they were yours? It appears YOU are the one that went to all the trouble here when all you needed to do was supply a freakin' link!

And do you really think I'd go to the trouble to type all that disclaimer. It's called copy/paste "DUDE"....oh but I guess you knew that too.

As an amateur photographer (and winner of the CC Photo Contest :D ), I for one take copyright issues VERY seriously. I don't want anyone using MY photos without my consent, and certainly don't want anyone claiming them as their own by hacking off any copyrights I've put on the image.

It's easy, just put a link to the page that OWNS the photographs, and we can look at them there.

I continue to encourage you to keep your bellicosity to yourself and stay on topic. If you are so concerned about intellectual property right issues then I would encourage you to offer your comments at <a href='http://www.cni.org/forums/cni-copyright/' target='_blank'>http://www.cni.org/forums/cni-copyright/</a>. I hope that in your exasperation that you will hopefully find that there are many other things that you could possibly focus on. Not to demean your intellectual ability to accept absolution, but I sincerely hope that you will allow me to pardon myself for hurting your feelings or any other grievances or reproach that I may have inflicted upon you while posting the pictures in question. I in no way was aware of my complicity, and seeing as how I am not accepting any form of financial backing in my “malicious affairs”, maybe we could find a way to control “our” noxious debate. You may continue with your ranting at your pleasure, but do not expect reply. I will not allow myself to be belittled by participating in your childish tantrum. So try leaving the computer and finding a life there princess!

As a peace offering I am referencing © 1998-2007 Infinite Dominion LLC. for pictures posted there in.

I in no way am claiming that the photos in question are my own. I am sure that I am not the first person on this website to post a picture that is not there own and not sited the picture. Thank you for the overwhelming affection though!
